From Baywatch to Toxic Watch

With sun-dren tower flowing surfer surfer and bikini-clad volleyball, Rogers State Beach is one of the world’s most recognizable shrubs that are grateful to the world “Baywatch”.

But now Iconic Beach is surrounded by broken houses and palms, its parking lot is a waste type for dangerous waste from wildfires. Beach barriers were replaced with the Hazmat environmental protection crews that prompted by melting power batteries and other risky waste before it was folded.

Palisades and food fires have been a shocking amount of debris, estimated 4.5 million tons. In comparison, the broken fires of Maui 2023 produced about 400,000 tonnes, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Those fires have taken three months of EPA cleaning, which governs the removal of dangerous waste. But now the agency hopes to finish their work in LA a month in a month – after the President Donald Trump is demanded by an executive order of EPA “The most contaminant is accelerated trash “.

The decision to be counted by the hazardous waste of the beach prompts protests and while cleaning fire waste works before previously swimming and surfing.

“In this bullerable area, they followed these danger, dangerous things,” as the actor and environmentalist Bonnie Wright. “To me, it feels like 10 steps back, because you literally write this garbage closer to the beach than the fires of fires.”

Ms Wright, playing Ginny in Harry Potter films, wrote a book of maintenance and devotes most of his time today with environmental reasons. While their battle to transfer sites away from the beach failed, he said activists were successful in encouraging the staff of electric vehicles on sensitive spong road.

EPA says the batteries of the burnt car is a dangerous challenge but that the agency has the skill to deal with them. To fix the garbage, they need a large space with roads enough for truck traffic – which is causing the beach, which is more attractive than air, mountainous roads in the winds.

If lithium ion batteries are damaged – especially in high heat and flame in a wildfire – there are days firing, or even months of coming in Steve Command at Filipino SAA.

“We need to take care of them like an unknown ordinance, or, as it is called by the UXO military,” he said.

Although some asked the speed where the EPA moved to clean the poisonous debris, he said there was no time to waste.

“We have to do it soon,” he said, that they did not begin to sort waste even as the fires murmur.

“If we delayed, the risk of side effects, it would go up.”

Mr. Calanog also manages the EPA response to Maui fires, which can hold signs on how to measure what is safe and reasonable if it shares the samples of water and the ground.

Many are concerned about the effects of heavy metals and chemicals in the air and water after fires. In Maui, almost 18 months since fires and a small part of the coast of Lahaina are still closed in the public. The Army Corps of Engineers – which removes heavy debris after EPA gets dangerous waste – just finished the last crease from Lahaina on 20 February.

But most of Maui remained open to local and tourists and the Hawaii Department of Health announced eight months after the fires that the shores surrounding the sea were safe for marriage.

The degree of cleaning from Los Angeles fires, never before and the largest in US history.

La County Slip’s closings in a nine miles (14 km) hitting weeks after January’s fires. After heavy rain – while helping to prepare any swollen emblings – causing muddies in the burn area and running toxic ashes and chemicals in the oceans, which prompts more closes .

Today most beaches reopen but a water advisory remains on the beach from Santa Monica to Malibu until Malibu till the counseling of the fire litter and continue to be left at sea at sea at the Sea sea posted by the sea “.

The most dedicated and local surfers can access the beaches in the beach area – no parking or stops at about 9 miles with trucks and workers in debris.

Even if some are dangerous to anything to get good waves.

While touring the Site of EPA, Annelisa Moe said he saw two bathroom surfers at the topbing break on Surpers’ Surpers’ Surpers’ Surpers in PPE.

“Water like chocolate milk like brown bubble on it,” Ms Moe recalls, which is the quality of the environment to make the beach healthy.

“It’s one of the days, between storms, like beautiful, sunny, 75 degree classes,” he said. “And so it feels like a little weird to be in the middle of the wreck while we have this perfect day at the beach.”

Jenny Newman’s Los Angeles Regional Water Control Board tells a La County Public Public Health Towns that they made in 22-27 January “January” is better than we expect. ” But water warned that people should follow the county advice to remain outside the water near the fire on fire.

Many scientists and volunteers from healing Bay and many private and public sector agencies to see what chemical and heavy metals are in the sea, but analysis by sea can be 4-6 weeks and have a small data available.

In the Surfrider Foundation, volunteers have tried the waters of the ocean all year. But their little lab is trying for fecal bacteria – not arsenic. Today it is very dangerous to reveal volunteers in centuries, so staff share the shore at the coast of Southern California to process their water samples.

“All our community members are the lovers of the ocean. We have the same questions they have,” says Eugenia Ermacora at the Surfrider Foundation. “It’s a concern, and everyone asks, when can we get back? When is it safe? And I want to have an answer.”

Chad is white, a surfer that grew up in the palisades and protests against the siting site on EPA along the Pacific Coast Highway, no way he looks today – it hurts to look at the beach and reminds what lost. And there are many metals and other surfaces.

“Takes my desire to surf up to zero, not just because of the quality of water, but only because of what is happening,” he said to the coffee at the Canyon Canyon. He took his first wave in 1977 at Will Rogers State Beach and taught his son to surf the age of four and his wife at the age of 60.

“The world breaks a man like me,” he said the destruction of the beach. “That beach has meant me too, and I am a man. There are ten, maybe hundreds of US use the beach each day.”

Many friends of Mr. White lost their homes and said that people were traumatic to see what the scene and beach looks like.

“Every movie you’ve seen, every movie that makes anyone from any part of the world wants to go to California who finds the pacific nobility in Malibu, along the coast. They all lost, “He said. “Now it’s a toxic dump.”
